2D Wavelet Analysis of Solid Objects: Applications in Layered Manufacturing
(1998)In this paper, we introduce two-dimensional discrete wavelet basis functions and their application in the analysis and modeling ofsurface topography in layered manufacturing objects. In previous work, a one dimensional ... -
3D Welding and Milling for Direct Prototyping of Metallic Parts
(1998)Welding has been used for the direct fabrication of metallic prototypes and prototype tools by several research institutes. Since welding alone is not able to deliver the accuracy and the surface quality needed for ... -
Art to Engineering: Pervasive RP activities at Arizona State University
(1998)We present a sampling ofwidely diverse Rapid Prototyping activities at ASU. Through the interdisciplinary PRISM project, RP is firmly involved in three areas: education, research and outreach. Two courses have been ... -
Automated Fabrication of Complex Molded Parts Using Mold SOM
(1998)Mold Shape Deposition Manufacturing (Mold SDM) is a Solid Freeform Fabrication technique for producing complex shaped fugitive wax molds. A vari~ty of castable. polymer and ceramic materials have been used to make parts ... -
Bevel Cutting Methods and Cutting Trajectory Control for Steel Laminations Used in Tooling
(1998)Bevel cutting of steel laminations used in profiled-edge laminated tooling allows for a more accurate representation of the intended die surface, since stair-stepping at the edges is eliminated. Based on experiments involving ... -
Binder Formulation in EVA-wax system for Fused Deposition of Ceramics
(1998)Blends in the ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) - wax system have been evaluated as potential binders.to be used in fused deposition of ceramics (FDC). In order to obtain good handling strength, it was indicated that the ... -
Build Time Estimations for Large Scale Modelling
(1998)Achieving speedy results in model making is very much desired if not a necessity in ahnost any manufacturing industry. There is no doubt that rapid prototyping contributes to this process. It is generally considered that ... -
